Giveaway!!!

I'm doing my first giveaway ever! Woohoo!!

I work for Dr Pepper Snapple Group as a Sales Analytics Manager. I have been with the company since January 2015 and I am still loving every single moment 17 months later. The company is headquartered in Plano, Texas but we have several offices around the country. I work in Rogers, AR office on theee... you guessed it! Walmart Account! I enjoy the people I work with and I have a really great boss! He da best! Real talk...

My company owns a wide variety of brands, one of which I am giving away hence the reason why I am speaking about my place of employment. Hehe. If you are interested, find out more about us at www.dpsg.com

Mr & Mrs T! Nope, not hubby and I but for those who have never heard of it, it's a Bloody Mary Mixer. It is the #1 Bloody Mary Mixer in the country according to data! I'm not just saying it just because. Only proven facts here people. Lol

Here it is...

This is a brand new flavor that's not even at Walmart yet. It's called Fiery Pepper and it is spicier than the other flavors we have in the market currently.

Peep my cute models :)

What you get: A 1 liter bottle of Mr & Mrs T Fiery Pepper in this cute box including: 1 Glass Cup, 4 Coasters in a holder, 1 Cocktail Jigger, 1 Stainless Steel Flask, and 1 Pen.

If you are interested or know of someone who loves a good Bloody Mary drink (It's a cool gift), all you have to do is leave a comment below. I will leave it open for a few days and once I get an okay amount of entries, I will simply select the winner by doing a draw!

This giveaway is unfortunately only open to readers here in the United States. Sorry! I actually love the idea of giveaways and I plan to do more that I will open to every reader!

GOOD LUCK!

Houston Chilling

I had this post done and ready to go last week. I was going to put it up on Wednesday but I was thrown off by all the racial aggravated issues that happened in the country. I decided it was best to hold off on posting because I felt it was only appropriate.

Let me say that my heart weeps for the families of the two African American men that lost their lives to absolute senseless killings and also for that of the five police officers in Dallas, and might I add, the people responsible for their deaths. A lot of days, my very active mind spins out of control with questions for God. Even though I understand the root cause being sin, I still wonder about certain things. And some of those days even though, I feel like I'm not all the way ready yet, my heart cries for Him to come back so we can just be done with all the hate, pain, anger, and evil in and of this world.

I had a very chill 4th of July weekend. I literally did nothing. I stayed inside the house for three days straight besides a "brief" run to go get suya(spiced beef on skewers) and that was it. Heck yes, I was very content!

Hubby, I, and the kids headed out to Houston on Thursday evening. It's an 8 hours drive from Northwest Arkansas. We got in around midnight, said our hellos, I gave the kiddos a bath and we all went to bed. The kids were pretty pumped but their cousins were sleeping already and mummy and daddy were done for the night.

Friday was very laid back! The kids were excited to see each other when they got up. My sis and her hubs had a cookout planned for Saturday so all the prepping began.

Demi and cousin Uyi on Friday morning :)

Hubby's sis Renny leaves in Houston too! She moved from Atlanta a few months ago. Morayo was beyond excited to see her cousin Izi. She spent the night with her on Friday night. Demi didn't realize when Mo left but when all quieted down, he wanted his Rayo. I got him in the car at 12:30a.m and drove him to be re-united with her. Luckily, Renny leaves only 9 minutes away from my sis. How awesome is that?!
